PACCAR reviews

The pay is average. the corporate dress code is very dated. Suits and ties are still required. The Chairman can be volatile and hard to work with. He has a punitive leadership style that puts everyone on edge. Other executives seem to know what kindness is though. Hybrid work is severely limited at corporate.

#1 - Lack of thorough training. #2 - Management is questionable. #3 - Workplace conditions can be subpar. #4 - Lack of job specialization (required to learn many different jobs with poor training). #5 - Jobs can be very physically demanding/dangerous. #6 - Inequality of treatment between 1st, 2nd, & 3rd shifts. #7 - Too many right-wing extremists make diversity difficult (Many of them keep their loaded firearms in their vehicles, which is against company policy. Also, Fox News is frequently shown on ALL TV's throughout the plant, bolstering the outlandish views that many of the armed extremists hold). #8 - Instability of positions (could lose your position at any time and be moved to a different dept. or more difficult job). #9 - Sacrificing quality of product for speed of assembly (many products are clearly low quality, due to high speed that management runs the assembly line, in conjunction with lack of training/job specialization). #10 - Understaffing/Overloading jobs (many jobs should require 2 people, but are assigned to a single worker instead). #11 - Morally questionable type of work. (You spend all day building pollution-machines, and if you have kids and/or care about future humans at all, this is a real con. Although, they have recently began producing EV's) #12 - Nepotism (almost everyone who works their seems to have a relative who also works there, which tends to reinforce the toxic, singular political environment). #13 - No janitors (all workers are required to sweep, wipe down, & clean up entire work areas + break rooms after every shift, instead of janitors periodically coming in to clean up). #14 - Break rooms (many of the break rooms/meeting areas are loud, cramped, and poorly setup. i.e. not enough seats/tables for everyone; can't hear managers during meetings; etc). #15 - Climate control (can get very warm during the summer/very chilly in the winter) #16 - Layoff's (multiple layoff's occurred within the 3 year span I was there).
